Here’s more from Alex Sobel, Labour MP, about what MPs were trying to do during that moment of altercation at the Speaker’s chair during the prorogation proceedings. From what I witnessed, though a few MPs laid hands on John Bercow’s arm and put their bodies between his chair and the floor, no one sat on him.
Conservative MPs have condemned the opposition MPs who were involved in attempting to block the Speaker from leaving the chamber, including Assistant Government Whip Nigel Huddleston and Bob Seely, Conservative MP for the Isle of Wight, who condemned the Speaker for his behaviour today. With Trumpian syntax, Seely wrote:

“Speaker loses plot at the end of parliament. Openly takes sides. Insults colleagues. Very sad.”

What’s the current polling in the U.K.? Whories still dominating every aspect of government with their 35%?

Maybe first past the post is better after all!

First past the post will probably suit the Tories in the upcoming election. I can see them winning a lot of constituencies with 35-40% of the vote with Lab / Lib Dems splitting the anti-Tory vote.
